‘“Last time I checked, nobody’s done anything special by just winning two games. We’re putting those behind us and focusing on Cincinnati … just trying to put our best foot forward and prepare as well as we can so we can go out there on Sunday and strive for 1-0 each week.”’

Tyler Kroft’s return gives Bills’ offense another chess piece
‘“He’s a do-it-all tight end,” Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton said on a conference call with Buffalo media. “He goes really hard in the run game, he understands offenses really well. When he was here, he was just a true pro. He handled everything the right way, even in the passing game, too, he can kind of do it all. … Obviously he’s had the injuries that have kind of set him back, but from what I’ve heard, I think this will be his first week back and I’m happy for him to get back on the football field.”’
Bills’ running game should withstand possible short-term absence of Devin Singletary
‘If the Bills don’t have Singletary in the lineup for their home-opener at New Era Field, they’ll be fine. That isn’t another way of saying they could simply lean on their passing attack, as they did in the season-opening victory against the New York Jets. It’s saying the Bills should be able to run as often as they would like, and be successful.’
A year later, Vontae Davis explains bizarre halftime retirement at Bills game
‘Davis’ teammates and Bills fans were totally not fine. His peers branded him a quitter, and Davis became the source of relentless mocking on social media.’
10 Buffalo beers to help circle the wagons at your next Bills tailgate
‘Grills, games and great beers are the name of the game for Bills’ fans before the clock strikes kickoff each week. While there are more options this season than ever before when it comes to your chosen tailgate elixir, I’ve tested them all in the name of science to compile a list of true Buffalo beers that will pump up any pregame. And no, you won’t find any fizzy yellow macro stuff here.’
Devin Singletary doesn’t practice for Bills, but Tyler Kroft may be ready to go
‘Of course, going into a game with just two running backs — unless you count fullback Patrick DiMarco — may be a bit of a risk so it would not be out of the question that the Bills may have to sign someone this week.’
Maiorana: Four things I learned in the Buffalo Bills locker room on Wednesday
‘“I’m feeling good out there, it was awesome getting that first full day back,” said Kroft, who had been a limited practice participant the leading up to the first two games and then was inactive for each. “Last week I was taking a lot of scout teams reps so the lungs feel good and I feel like I’m building that wind back up and running well out there.”’
Buffalo Bills CB Tre White scoffs at critics: ‘Honestly, I don’t get the credit that I deserve’
‘“The passes that those guys caught we were in three coverage so my job is to protect the deep third,” White said. “So any passes in front of me that’s the weakness of the defense. I don’t get too caught up in when guys catch passes in front of us when I’m in deep zone coverage. If I’m in man-to-man coverage that’s a whole different story.”’
Buffalo Bills injury report: Devin Singletary won’t practice Wednesday
‘Bills coach Sean McDermott announced Wednesday that Singletary will miss Wednesday’s practice and the team will “see how the week goes” before determining his availability for Sunday.’

Allen has a good sense of where the Bills are
‘Yes, we need to keep things in perspective. The Jets and the Giants appear destined to be among the dregs of the NFL. And if Allen had opened the season with four first-half turnovers against a good team, he likely would have dug a crater too deep to climb out of, and we probably would be having a different conversation.’
